This was my first credit card and I've had nothing but positive feedback! When I need a few more weeks before I can pay for something, this card really helps, and I always pay it off in full the next month. I wouldn't use it for big purchases that I don't intend to pay off right away because the interest rate is something crazy like 39%. When I pay the full amount off each month I'm not charged anything! I love the online account access, which is really useful: it shows me clearly my current statement and recent purchases, allows me to pay my account online (there is an option to pay full amount, minimum payment required or an amount of your choosing) and is safe and secure. You can take out cash on this card from an ATM but it will charge you either £3 or 3% of the transaction. This is really handy when you need extra cash in a hurry! There aren't any negatives to this card that I've experienced so far, I would recommend it for someone who won't over spend and will pay the full amount off each month. It's also a great way to build up a credit rating
I've been a customer of Capital one for almost ten years now. I must say that they're a great credit card company. I have a total of more than 5 credit cards with them for the time that I was with them and currently still with them. I love their services and credit. I find them to be the premier credit card company for students or those who want to start to establish their credit. They're a site that offer credits to those with starting out credit rating and poor credit rating or students or anyone who hope to get a personal loan or some banking without such excellent credit rating. I guess they can give you an extra boost and that's why I like them because I started having credit with them as a student when I was trying to establish my credit and I like how they gave me a chance to build my credit. My entire family has Capital one credit cards and we all love them. We've been with them for so long and have never had any problems at all. They have excellent customer service, fraud protection, credit offers and many merchants accept them. I will always be a capital one consumer. I find them trustworthy to do business with and would recommend anyone to start banking or getting credit with them. They give beginner a new start or a chance to get some awesome credit. I have their cash reward cards and I love the extra cash back every month. I usually get around thirty dollars back each month and I love that. I put everything on my reward card with capital one. I love such a card. I'm a very satisfied customer and would continue to do business with them.
BACKGROUND Capital One credit card was the second credit card that I took out, the reason for taking the credit card out was because I found the cashback element appealing. The credit criteria only require a low income (cannot remember exactly how much now) which was ideal as I was a student and working part time for minimum wage. ADVANTAGES The main advantage is I get cashback added to me account in January every year from the money that I have spent in the previous 12 months. As I have the direct debit set to pay the balance off in full each month, I never have any problems with incurring interest etc. Secondly, the online banking facility is easy to use. I can quickly go online and check my balance within the space of a minute. However as with most online banking facilities, purchasing made outside of the 9-5 working day are often not updated until the following day. DISADVANTAGES The main disadvantage is that this card only has £200 credit limit and the 6 monthly credit limit reviews are non-existent. I have had this card for 3 years and have yet to have the credit limit increased despite having a higher paying job now and being eligible for high credit limits on other cards. The main annoyance is that you are not allowed to ask them to increase your credit limit as with every other credit card company in the country. Even if you spend £150-£200 of the credit limit on a regular monthly basis, this does not encourage them to increase your credit limit come the next review. SUMMARY This credit card is what I refer to as my "computer desk credit card" for all those internet purchases, as I can check how much credit I have left. I do not dare take it out the house, as I could easily max out this card within a matter of hours .... I bought a vacuum cleaner the other day worth more than the credit limit on this card. After reading other reviews, I agree with everyone that Capital One need to improve their customer service, I do not believe asking for a credit limit increase is an unreasonable request (not saying everyone should get one regardless of their credit score, but everyone should have the right to ask if they are eligible).
After being Capital One customers for several years now, we've recently fallen into financial difficulties and missed a couple of payments for the first time. We have several creditors who've been hounding us with repeat phone-calls - but I have to say that Capital One have been the best of the bunch. Their support and customer service has been outstanding. They provided great advice, and have been overwhelmingly considerate and understanding in their approach. They were extremely sympathetic to our difficult circumstances, and reassured us that we're going to get through this, and affirmed their commitment to do everything they can to help and support us. Yes, we've been paying a whopping rate of interest to Capital One for several years now...but based on the incredible level of service and support we've just received, it all seems worth it. I've always said that the real measure of a good company is how they respond when it comes to the crunch and something's gone wrong. Well after our recent experience, Capital One have literally leapt forward in my estimation and respect. Thank you Capital One for your sensitivity and support - your handling of a difficult situation has been a welcome and wonderful surprise during a particularly distressing period of our lives.
I've been a loyal customer of Capital One for around 15 yrs and for that loyalty Capital One increased my interest rate to almost 35%!!! I questioned why and was fobbed of with a generic answer so i asked why i had such a high rate when my house mate applied for a card with them, just 12 months after getting a CCJ and has an interest rate almost half that of mine - again a generic response along the lines of we can't discuss another account... I then went to the CEO of Capital One to ask why they were treating me in this way and yet again i received a generic get lost response from their executive office - as the CEO can't even be bothered to look at my complaint personally. All in all Capital One seem to favor people with bad debt or poor credit history offering them preferential interest rates and sting there long term loyal customers to cover the risk. Staying loyal to this company means nothing and as with other reviewers i have to agree that their customer service is diabolical, If you have a poor history then maybe they are for you but once they class you as a loyal customer expect to be stung and stung hard My account will be closed by the end of this month and i WILL NEVER USE OR RECOMMEND Capital One to anyone.
Capital One was the first credit cards I was ever issued back over 10 years ago and for the longest time I really enjoyed using them, despite the fact I was paying a $60 annual fee for the card. The customer service was good and I was getting rewards on my purchases and everything seemed great. About three years ago I had stopped using my Capital One card almost entirely and since I was not charging anything I didn't check my account. They ended up charging me my $60 annual fee, which I wasn't aware of until 1-2 months later and ended up charging me a $39 late fee plus charged interest on my balance so I ended up paying over $100 for that. Of course they were completely unwilling to work with me on the fees, which I think is completely immoral, but that is business I suppose. To top it off, they ended up noting that on my credit report and were unwilling to take it off so I am still showing a delinquent payment history on my credit report from over 3 years ago. I should have closed my account at that point but I was on hard times and needed a credit line in case of emergencies so I kept it open. About 1.5 years ago, they ended up shutting off the rewards program with my card without notifying me and I just lost all the points I had not redeemed. I had finally had enough so I called them and asked if they would take off my $60 annual fee for the card since I was a customer for 10+ years and was in good standing and they weren't willing to do so, so I closed my account finally. It's my own fault and stupidity that I continued to give this company so much of my own hard earned money, but hopefully you won't make the same mistake as me. There are plenty of better opportunities out there so stay clear of Capital One!
ok so i've had credit for insurance,mobile phones etc but had problems getting a credit card because i've moved around a bit, was recently accepted by CapOne for their Progress card. All-be-it a poxy £300 limit its good to see that theres now ways for us to get a foot on the ladder again. Yes their call centres are foreign and very scripted but in their defense,many credit cards and utilities are these days. Also to those that are slagging them off for treating you "poorly" when you have missed two or three consecutive payments, i work in debt reecovery and im sorry but you're going to have to go through the exact same thing with almost any credit card company,its called defaulting a legal credit agreement!! The only difference is how the company manage and assist you throughout that process. You would be quick to slate them for not keeping up an offer or term in the contract, but then have a moan when they do. End of the day if you have a slightly down and out credit rating and want to build it, the Progress card is a sure-fire way of doing that as long as you manage it correctly and if possible keep the balance clear to avoid the very high APR to start and the still slightly high APR later on down the line. Plus, free equifax reports and Fraud services that are spoken pretty highly of by many professionals.
I have a fabulous credit score because I have my credit cards (as few as possible) paid automatically out of my bank account every month. I paid off my mortgage and paid cash for my used car. You can hate me. I have a $46,000 credit limit on my Mileage Plus card which I did use when I paid for my wedding but paid off immediately. I am not young. I live overseas and wanted a card that didn't charge a foreign transaction fee so I got this card. They gave me a---$1000 credit limit. A friend who got one for his daughter on a semester abroad got a $500 credit limit! I whined and got it raised to $1500. I can't even buy an airline ticket in this country with this card. I'm applying for a Chase British Airways card where I assume since I already have a Chase card, I will get a higher credit limit. I keep having to pay off the card every two weeks to keep the balance within the limit. As soon as I get the other card and hopefully it has a higher credit limit, I'm canceling Capital One.
I took out a Capital One card a year ago when I was working full time since then I have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, I called their "customer call centre" like others I could not understand a word that was said and the repeated scripted answers nearly drove me insane!!! I have been advised to send in and income and expenditure form which I did but it came back with the comments not enough detail, in the last 4 days I have received 25 calls demanding payment, But today I lost it with them and demanded to speak to their manager or complaints team I was given a tel no to call only to get through to the same advisor I eventually got the correct address in Nottingham and have written to them today..DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THIS SHAMBOLIC COMPANY THEY WILL HARRASS YOU EVEN IF YOU ARE DYING! THEY WOULD GET A MINUS STAR FROM ME
Quick Intro: I consider my credit rating to be 'poor', it's not that I have a history of bad credit, it's that I have no history of credit, especially at my current address. Based on my circumstances I researched cards likely to accept me and like many others I was quickly directed to the 'capital one classic' card. It's main disadvantage is pretty obvious, 35%+ APR but I can honestly say I haven't found much to complain about since. Signing up was painless, the PREVIOUS DAY I was rejected by the notoriously descriminate sainsburys credit card so I wasn't very hopeful but after completing a painless form I was accepted! With a four figure credit limit to boot. Virtually immediately I started to receive emails, not spam but a login for online banking! Within an hour I was into the online banking setting up a direct debit! I was very impressed with the whole process. The card & pin arrived prompty, the pin was easily readable and the card looks like it could take a beating. Activating the card was quick and easy, just involves saying 'NO' to PPI :) So far everything is dandy, I will update this review with any problems I encounter.
CAPITAL ONE ARE A COMPLETE JOKE and a company that really needs to sort it self out. I would highly reccommend that people looking for a card go elsewhere. I have spent 2 days of heartache and tears trying to clear my new husbands bill. They made this very hard and the process sucks. there attitude which is stated from a person we spoke to at capital one that they dont send you details etc to ask for payment but will leave it to mount up on interest then slap you with a bill 20 years on when you owe thousands. PLEASE THINK HARD BEFORE USING THEM I REALLY ADVISE YOU NOT TOO!!!!
I'm not even a customer of Capital One, and over the last week I have been receiving 4 or 5 nuisance telephone calls from them. They ignore all attempts to stop them. If you are thinking of using Capital One I would suggest that you look elsewhere, they obviously have no idea about privacy and from my experience they will ignore any attempt you make at stopping their unwanted calls. I repeat do not trust Capital One, for me they have proven themselves completely untrustworthy.
Capital One are complete rip off merchants, they vary the payment date of your monthly statement depending on how many days in the month there is? They have charged me a late payment fee on several occasions when I have paid 20 days in advance of the due date!!!! I have tried to call but it takes at least 15 mins to get through to someone who does not understand what I am saying. I have looked online and Capital One are being sued in America for making incorrect charges to clients and making fake offers to increase the interest rates. DONT GO THERE THEM!!!
I have not yet tested the capital one card so i will keep this review short and sweet. First of all my credit rating isn't the best and have had late payments in the past. However capital one accepted my application for the classic card allowing me to rebuild my credit rating up. The online application is very simple to use and i had a response via letter 3 days later saying i was accepted. To my joy as i have been refused credit cards in the past. So if you have a bad or low credit rating and canot obtain credit i suggest you give the capital one classic card a try as they accept you even with a bad rating. With the card aslong as i pay my monthly payments i will not be charged any interest. And doing so will rebuild my credit. I should receive my card sometime this week and just thought i would write a review for people with bad credit or who have been refused elsewhere to give this a try as it worked out fine for me.

Rap Genius is Hiring: Help Us Annotate the World
Rap Genius is at an unusual point in our history: we're one of the fastest-growing sites on the internet, we get 30 million unique visitors per month, we've raised $15,000,000 from Andreessen Horowitz, and yet our tech team is still only 8 people.
This makes it a best-of-both-worlds–type situation for anyone who joins now: you'll have a huge role in shaping a product that a ton of people are already obsessed with, you'll get to build the team, but at the same time you'll still make a lot of money, eat a grip of sushi, and not have to worry that we're going out of business.
Another benefit is you get to work with seriously smart people! It's impossible to make it through our interview without being truly amazing, which is why we created The Rap Genius Genius Grant™ – everyone who gets a job offer ALSO gets $1,000 cash on the spot just for being awesome (whether or not you take the job).

You don't have to love rap to work here (though an appreciation osmoses to everyone after a while).
What we're building
We started Rap Genius in 2009 to explain the meaning of rap lyrics, but the big vision goes beyond music and touches all of text—whether it's the Bill of Rights, the Bible, "The Waste Land", or the Supreme Court's DOMA ruling, it's all on Rap Genius (or Poetry Genius, or News Genius, or… you get the idea). One of our favorite recent examples is Junot Diaz's amazing annotations on an excerpt from his own The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.

- The deluxe computer setup of your choice
What we're looking for

- Something impressive that you've built that exists online: a cool side project you built, a library you've released, etc.
- Your résumé
- Location—you can't get the true RG cult effect working remotely, so only apply if you live in NYC or are willing to relocate. Our office is in Williamsburg.
Edit news description to add:
- Historical context: how the event or text affects the world and history
- An explanation of the work's overall story (example: "Here, President Obama confirms the legality of drone strikes...")

FORTUNE -- The South by Southwest Music festival in Austin, Texas has always been about putting on a good show, according to Brent Grulke, the festival's creative director. That hunt for artists who can turn it on live hasn't changed much, even though the music industry has been scrambling for a new business model ever since the rise of mp3s rattled the old one.
But in recent years, Grulke says, big companies have taken on a larger, more direct role in the music industry, and it has played out in a big way at festivals like SXSW. "What really kind of blows my mind is how enormous corporations still place tremendous value in music." Many massive companies, aching to stay relevant, send employees to SXSW Music, he says.
Of course, companies have always wanted to be associated with talent, and there certainly are large, flashy partnerships at SXSW this year: on Monday, Jay-Z and American Express (AXP) teamed up to promote a new feature on Twitter for AmEx customers, and tomorrow night, Pepsi (PEP) will unveil a 56-foot-tall vending machine to keep concert-goers loaded up with a new Doritos product.
But many companies also want fresh songs from lesser-known musicians to represent big brands, and those companies are now, often, circumventing record labels to get to those artists.
SXSW Music, in fact, has panels this year that specifically address that shift. Wednesday, there will be a talk called "Maximizing Alternative Income as a Hip Hop Artist." Another panel, "Advertising IS the new radio," will address how commercials, not airtime, can launch a music career.
"The best thing for me was all the commercials," says April Smith, a vocalist with a big, throwback sound. Her band, April Smith and the Great Picture Show, has never signed with a label. Recently, her song "Colors" was featured on a Lowe's (LOW) commercial, which has provided the band with the money to fund a tour this spring.
Companies, or the advertising arms at companies, are increasingly connecting directly with musicians. Last July, Coca-Cola (KO) bought a minority stake in a company called Music Dealers, which links lesser-known musicians with companies looking to use their writing skills or performances for commercial purposes. The partnership provides Coke with a shortcut through the reams of red tape it takes to work with many artists signed to labels. More

Lunch: Mon - Fri, 11:30am - 2:30pm. Dinner: Sun - Thu, 4:30pm - 10pm; Fri, Sat, 4:30pm - 11pm
bomb sushi! and very fresh i love sushi and can get very picky but this place was very goood!
Great place – My husband and I wanted to try a new sushi place but were skeptical about this place, being so small. We were so glad we gave it a try because the sushi and people are fantastic!
i read such good reviews for this restaurant so i went in with such high expentations and was not impressed it was small, sushi was not that great ive had better else where but there staff was friendly. maybe ill come back and try again if im ever in this side of town, i wish they had more variety and fresher fish, or maybe next time ill go with lower expectations....next time i go anywher i def. wont trust the reviews
best sushi this side of the bridge – after only a couple times of going here, we could tell that they recognized us. everyone is very friendly and the service is good. the quality of food is excellent, very good tuna! mmmmmm... i only wish they had more rolls, they have the standard rolls that everyone else has (tuna, cali, mexican, arizona, ect ) but not much more. the ones that they do have are very good though, they have a very strong base to work from. ive asked them to add/remove things to rolls and theyve happily accommodated me though so we are very pleased and cant help but come back for more!
Best sushi around!! – Charlie is the best and my husband and I LOVE it there. Always fast and friendly service! You won't be dissapointed.
Charlie rocks and so do his rolls! – I like to think I'm a professional diner, I go out quite a bit; Sushi is my weakness... I've been all over the country for sushi, and Charlie has MASTERED Sushi, in fact, this was one of the first places locally that offered it. Ambiance is lacking, and due to the high demand for excellent food, you may have to wait, but its worth it. FRESH FRESH FRESH
Editorial Review – This casual Japanese eatery offers appetizers that range from tofu to sashimi, and traditional entrees that include teriyaki chicken and vegetarian tempura.
Best Sushi Around! – I have eaten Sushi in places Nationwide. This little place in Clearwater, Fl is my #1 favorite. Charlie has mastered the thin layer of one piece of rice around the rolls, it's amazing. The atmosphere is lacking, but they far make up for in with the food. All items are a fair value and there is lots that is not on the menu - so ask! Try the lollipop! Spider Roll is one of the best too!
Kaiko is great sushi!! – I have traveled all over this country and spent twice the amount Kaiko charges and have not found a better sushi bar anywhere. What I really like is that they don't put very much rice in the rolls. I think they have by far the best rolled sushi I have had. Also, everything is extremely fresh. Small place, but very high quality...try the lollipops and the spicy tuna rolls...the white tuna sashimi is #1.
decent sushi – The raw food quality was good. The other rolls were decent. But i've had better sushi at other places.

The Billboard
Writing one perfect album is hard enough. But nine? Come on! Who else in the history of recorded sound has even dared reach such a milestone? Neil Young? Bob Dylan? Herb Alpert? Tiny Tim? Throw out greatest-hits packages, and youve got maybe HALF a decent album among them! No, the only band to have hit the nine-album mark without so much as a bum note is Denton, Texas Bowling for Soup. And theres no debating those stats, so dont even try!
As usual, Bowling For Soups ninth full-length,
The Great Burrito Extortion Case
, is the best album anyone will release this year. Its got hits! Its got hooks! Its got hidden messages! Well, okay, it doesnt have any hidden messages, but it does have something no other album of the past 10 years (or 20; was there even music that long ago?) has dared to offer. It has more undiluted HAPPINESS per song than should be legally allowed by law. Seriously, do you think Bowling for Soup called their summer 2006 tour The Get Happy Tour for nothing?
We know what youre thinking: Bowling for Soup is just some big, famous, Grammy-nominated pop-punk act; arent those bands all just way too happy for their own good? Nice try, Einstein, but have you ever actually listened to those other bands? Didnt think so! The Halloween hair, the woe-is-me lyrics, the melodramatic MySpace blogs Its no wonder so many of our children are on antidepressants. How else to survive a trip to the record store these days?
We calculated it, and there are at least 12 verses worth of total joy for every sort-of-sad chorus about an ex-girlfriend on this record, says singer/guitarist Jaret Reddick, who formed Bowling for Soup in 1994 and today rounds out the band with guitarist Chris Burney, bassist Erik Chandler and drummer Gary Wiseman. And Jaret should know something about calculating hes got two college degrees! Okay, so maybe he never did that well in math, but the point is, this is a man who understands the epidemic of sadness in modern rock music and is trying to DO something about it. Put THAT in your coffin and cry over it, My Chemical whatever-your-name-is!
Of course, to make the worlds happiest album, you cant just put a few major chords together and slap a smiley face on the thing. Youve got to do your homework and besides knocking out the 2005 compilation of TV- and movie-theme covers
Bowling For Soup Goes To The Movies
, thats just what Bowling For Soup did between their last proper album, 2004s gold-certified
A Hangover You Dont Deserve
, and
The Great Burrito Extortion Case
. For instance, did you know that Denmark is the happiest place on Earth? Seriously, some big-time British scientist even proved it this year. Well, guess who was on the case FIRST?!
You mean someone actually put that s**t into a scientific formula? Jaret asks incredulously. Man, we only had to have our tour bus break down in Denmark to know itd be the right place to make this record. In fact, the band originally wanted to call Burritos happiest song Im Lykkelig in homage to their stopover in the land of many windmills, but in the end, they wisely chose a more universal title. See, lykkelig means happy in Danish, explains Jaret, who also speaks Mandarin, Urdu, and the fictional Star Wars language Huttese, but as we looked back at the roots of the word happy, we were able to trace it all the way back the 12th century, when it collided with the French gai to become, well, gay.
Wow! Thanks for the etymology lesson, Jaret but all YOU really need to know is that Im Gay, as the song today appears on
The Great Burrito Extortion Case
, is the single happiest no, make that gayest song of 2006. Its also a bona-fide anthem, and, yes, there will be tests on this stuff later, so commit those lyrics to memory and get GAY already!
Jaret estimates that, between trips to Denmark, Disneyland, and the certified-happy South Pacific Ocean archipelago of Vanuatu, Bowling for Soup spent at least nine months and 750 million frequent-flyer miles writing the more than 60 songs theyd eventually pare down into
The Great Burrito Extortion Case
s glorious final 14. Largely self-producing the album at studios in Atlanta, Los Angeles and some kids house in Nanty Glo, Pennsylvania (It just sounded like a happy place, says Jaret), the band even invited self-help guru Tony Robbins for a vocal cameo, figuring hed really push the album over the top into full-on zeitgeist-shaping motivational force. Turns out hed been contracted by some death-metal band from Florida, Jaret recalls with some regret, so I called up my friend Adam [Schlesinger] from Fountains Of Wayne instead. Same difference, really.
And trust us: If you thought
omnipresent hit single 1985 was ridiculously upbeat (English rock legend Richard Thompson even named it one of the best songs of the past 1,000 years!), it sounds like death metal compared to the Banana Splits-meet-Green Day vibe of
first single, High School Never Ends. And if the RIAA thought enough of Girl All The Bad Guys Want (from 2002s Drunk Enough To Dance) to nominate it for a Best Performance Pop Grammy in 2003, well, watch out, Junior: Theyre gonna need to create a whole new CATEGORY to make room for surefire hits such as Val Kilmer, Luckiest Loser and, well pick one!!!
Heck, its a testament to Bowling For Soups vision that even the bum-outs on
sound happy! 99 Biker Friends, a rollicking, sing-along statement on domestic abuse, finds the band and their so-named biker buds ganging up to defend a female friends honor. When We Die (co-written with producer/musician/sharp-dressed man extraordinaire Butch Walker), despite its bittersweet acoustic guitar, is the rare jilted-ex tune that makes the protagonist accountable for his screwups. And A Friendly Goodbye, one of many instant-classic F-off songs on the album, cleverly hides its dirty words in a string of clean epithets. In other words, kids, this stuffs hotter than H-E-double hockey sticks!
Ask anyone who remembers Bowling For Soup before the bands Jive Records days, when they were just a scrappy cult favorite handing out demos in the summer heat of Warped Tour, and theyll tell you: For all the guerilla-style self-promotion these guys did just to get their music heard outside of the Lone Star State, they have every right to be cynical about the industry thats finally embraced them. But for crying out loud, thats just not the case in fact, theyre happier than the Partridge Family these days!
Jaret explains: This is gonna sound corny, but the thing thats kept us psyched about playing music besides all the free beer isnt fame or fortune or hit songs. Its that we never lost that feeling of excitement we had the first time we sat down to write something together. You look at this band anytime from then to now, and were basically the same: just a bunch of fun, beer-drinking fan-boys from Texas who got lucky. The fact that weve been able to parlay that into something that makes other people happy is payment in itself.
He burps, then pauses to reflect. Between you and me, thats the first time Ive used the word parlay since college.

701 Convention Center Blvd, New Orleans, LA | Directions 7013029.945835 -90.064763
Neighborhoods: French Quarter - CBD, Central Business District
Upscale hotel chain offers meeting facilities, signature restaurants and luxury amenities. – In Short
Offering many of the thoughtful touches and services of a first-class hotel, business and leisure guests enjoy spacious guest rooms equipped with high-speed Internet access, a working desk and ergonomic chair, coffeemaker, data port, movies on demand, Sony Playstation® and voice mail. For those who don't want to neglect their fitness routines while traveling, Wyndham offers a state-of-the-art fitness center, heated pool, sauna and hot tub where guests can get that adrenaline pumping.
Best Location in Town – A great value, perfectly situated in the Warehouse District close to the casino, French Quarter, and CBD, and across the street from the Riverwalk and Dutch Morial Convention Center. Among the best restaurants and bars in New Orleans (putting aside the tourist-oriented Quarter) are within a three-block radius. Great shopping, museums, and galleries also abound in the neighboorhood. Don't miss the Children's Museum on Julia!
Very Disappointed – We came to NO for a combination of work and pleasure, selected this hotel for proximity to convention center and French Quarter. Not only was the hotel MUCH lower quality than the pictures online, the staff was extremely unhelpful. Our keys had to be re-coded almost every time we left the room, staff was rude and aloof, and I think only once in my week stay did someone open the door for me. Routinely every morning we would awaken to the maids talking VERY loudly in the hallways, and only when we asked several times one day did we get a few towels. My best advice, stay somewhere else.

Please do not argue with the Sports Editor. It's like the Charlotte Hornets trading Kobe Bryant for Vlade Divac. It's just a bad idea. Illustration by David Brown By Jason LewisSentinel Sports Editor
The never-ending debate over paying college athletes was recently the focus on HBO Real Sports. Many viewers came away from the show with an even stronger sense that these athletes should be paid, especially after it was noted that Alabama made $125 million in the three seasons that wide receiver Tyrone Prothro played there, and now Prothro is a bank teller who never made a dime off of his talents. After watching the show I still contend that paying college athletes will never work and I think that there is a much larger issue at hand. The two college sports that produces the most money is football and basketball. Actually, those two sports are usually the only two that make a profit. Black athletes heavily populate those sports. These athletes receive a full scholarship to school. Tuition, books, housing, meals, tutoring. Pretty much everything that they need to live off of and receive an education is paid for. But for some reason people think that the free education is not good enough. That the players are not there for the education, so they should get something other than that. Well that is the problem right there, and it is a major problem in the black community. We, as a community, do not value a college education. There are certain groups and individuals within the black community who value an education, but as a whole, we do not. Just look at the horribly low numbers of black people, especially men, who attend universities. Many of these black athletes are not taking advantage of a free education. It becomes even more of a problem because many of these black athletes will not have a professional sports career, and the ones who do make it to the pro level, their careers more than likely will not be very long. Since these black athletes will more than likely not see the riches of being a big time professional athlete, it is even more important for them to not only receive their degree, but to also make the most of obtaining it. Prothro, who received his degree from Alabama's College of Human and Environmental Sciences, is working as a bank teller. It was not stated on HBO Real Sports why he is working as a bank teller, or what his future plans are, but his employment certainly does not match his degree. Another player featured was Stanley McClover, who played at Auburn before foregoing his senior year to enter the NFL draft. He played two seasons with the Carolina Panthers before being released due to injuries.
It appears that McClover's playing career is over. He is now jobless and he does not have a degree, while having to take care of his family, which includes his young child.
McClover may have a very tough road ahead of him because he did not take advantage of what was given to him. He did not go after a degree, even though he was a college student with everything paid for. Are we supposed to feel bad for a guy who does not take advantage of, or value a great opportunity? At what point are these players going to be held accountable? What is throwing money at them going to really accomplish? So paying a college athlete six figures for a few years is going to solve the problem? McClover made that while playing in the NFL, but he still may have long-term problems because he does not have a job or degree. Lets see how long that money lasts him. Lets be real, giving a young black man, in his late teens or early 20s, six figures, is not going to set him up long term. What are the chances that he doesn't go out and buy a car, and then put the latest sound system and televisions in it? Once paid, what are the chances of that athlete going to class? He's paid, see you later! You know what can set him up for the rest of his life? An education. And not what these athletes and some of these universities are calling an education. One major problem that is going on at some of these universities is that the athletic departments are just pushing the athletes through school. There are no real efforts to get the athletes to obtain a degree in something that they can have a career in, and in many cases, there is no effort to keep the athletes on track to even receive a degree. In order to keep the players academically eligible, coaches and councilors push the athletes to easier classes, and sometimes tell them to change their major so that classes do not interfere with practice time. In those cases the universities are using these football and basketball players to generate billions of dollars without giving the players anything of value in return. Instead of paying athletes, the NCAA should crack down on universities that are not ensuring that these athletes receive a proper education.Now there are exceptions to the rule. HBO Real Sports interviewed Rigo Nunez, who played basketball for UMass. Nunez used his degree to obtain administration jobs on the university level. Nnamdi Asomugha, who attended Narbonne High School and now plays for the Oakland Raiders, is another exception to the rule. Asomugha said that all the football skills in the world would not have gotten him anywhere if he did not have an education. Asomugha appears to be an athlete who will continue to excel after his playing career is over, while there have been reports that 80% of NFL players are either divorced or bankrupt within three years of their playing career being over. If Asomugha did not take his education serious while at Cal Berkeley, where he received his degree, he could end up with the same issues that many pro athletes have when their playing careers are over. If there were more athletes like Nunez and Asomugha, who value their free education, then there would not be so many athletes complaining that they were used and have nothing to show for it. And really think about it, where is all of this money coming from to pay these athletes? People love to point out all of these millions and billions of dollars being made, but there are 460,000 college athletes. If a small group of them gets paid, then they all have to be paid. Because of Title IX, there is no way that certain men are going to get paid without women getting paid. And all of those millions of dollars become much smaller when the bulk of college sports teams lose money. UConn's women's basketball program, which is the premiere program in women's college basketball, lost over $700,000 last year. That is from a winning program.According to data obtained by Bloomberg through the Freedom of Information Act, 53 public schools in the six largest conferences lost $109.7 million from women's teams in 2010. This while the men's teams at those same schools in those same conferences had operating profits of $240 million, according to Bloomberg.All of this money that football and basketball make, a good amount of it goes to support all of the other athletic teams at those schools. That money supports the baseball team, the softball team, the men's and women's track teams, the men's and women's swimming teams, the soccer teams. A good amount of that money also goes back to the universities for operating costs. That new library was paid in part because the football team made millions of dollars. That new math and science building was built in part because the basketball team made it to the Final Four. All these players complaining need to see the big picture. The system cannot pay them nor should it. They need to value what they are getting for free, which is an education. A degree without being six figures in debt like many college students sounds like a great deal to me. If these athletes do not like it, then do not play college sports. Football players can go play semi pro for three years after high school and then enter the NFL draft. Lets see how that works out for them. Basketball players can go play in Europe for a year after high school and then go into the NBA. It is a shame that so many of our black youth are blowing off such a valuable opportunity.

Cawiezell Signs With Cleveland Indians
Tuesday, August 07, 2007
Valparaiso pitcher Dallas Cawiezell (Long Grove, Iowa/North Scott) has opted to forgo his final year of eligibility and has signed with the Cleveland Indians organization, which drafted him in the 40th round of the 2007 Major League Baseball amateur draft. The Indians have assigned Cawiezell to the Mahoning Valley Scrappers of the New York-Penn League, their short-season Class A affiliate.
"We are excited that Dallas has been given this opportunity to play professional baseball," said Crusader head coach Tracy Woodson. "While it is a big loss for our team next season, this is a chance that Dallas could not pass up, and we wish him nothing but the best."
Cawiezell, a second team All Mid-Continent Conference honoree and All-Tournament Team member, led the Crusaders at the plate during the 2007 season with five home runs and finished second on the team with 28 RBI in just 119 at-bats. On the mound in 2007, Cawiezell appeared in 19 contests, throwing 38 innings with a 3.55 ERA while striking out 33 batters and registering seven saves. His 10 career saves rank third in Crusader history.
Prior to signing with the Indians, Cawiezell was tearing up the Northwoods League for the Alexandria Beetles. In 19 games out of the bullpen, he had registered 10 saves and boasted a miniscule 0.41 ERA, striking out 40 batters while walking just six. At the plate, Cawiezell was hitting .360 in 50 at-bats, including six extra-base hits. He was named to the Northwoods League North Division All-Star team as a pitcher and also participated in the league's Home Run Derby.

3 long drives by the Panthers that resulted in TD's Smith was getting into Talib's head. Ridley fumble hurt and should've gotten the TD instead of the FG. That was a pass interference but the refs wanted to leave. Very bad call at the end of the game. Why throw the flag and then leave. Going to be tougher next week against Gomer and the Broncos.

Seriously, come on! What do you expect. Newton made a few ridicolous plays with his legs and that cost the Pats a game.
When you lose THAT MANY players, it will catch up with you....
The team cannot catch a break with injuries, every single damn year. This year was going to be the first year of a great Pats defense in 7 years. Unfortunately the injuries are decimating this team. Look at what happened to the Falcons, and the they have had less injuries than the Pats. I dont care how good Belichick is, even he cannot overcome 6 starters being OUT.
P.S. this team cannot rely on Ridley in a big game. The guy probably cost us the game, those 3 points were huge.
The offense was spectacular as a whole today. Brady was awesome! It will not be enough to get them anywhere in playoffs though. Not with this decimated defense!

McCourty was abused time and time again. If it wasn't his inability to stop a complet.ion, he was getting dragged by a RB. I bet Ed Reed would not have been embarassed like McCourty was.

Not their best game, but they are dinged up very bad, Talib was just coming back, and then leaves again in the 4th.
Let's be honest, if not for the rob by the refs on the last play, this would have been a W.

Hopefully you were NOT one of the many knuckleheads who actually believed the defense would not miss the likes of Wilfork, Mayo, etc, etc, eventually.
Frankly I have been amazed they've been playing as well as they have to this point.

The defense performed admirably well considering how depleted they are.
We can only hope that Talib can continue to get healthy, hope Dennard gets back soon, and hope Gregory can return soon.

[/QUOTE]defense is injured. offense is not. Brady needed to find the endzone on the second to last drive. 3 points was not enough.

The defense stunk tonight but with all the injuries it's no surprise. The defense carried the team for the first half and clearly the offense will have to do the same the rest of the way. We are now watching the 2011 Pats with slightly inferior receivers (maybe more than slightly but I thought they were excellant tonight) but with a much better running attack (though the pats did not fumble much then).

they got some pressure on cam, but it doesnt mean sheeet if you cant wrap up, it looked like nink and chandler jones were playing flag football on that one long run. that play and the 3rd and one pass were the two determining plays in this game imo.

Even if run fails on 3rd and 1 - the clock still runs

The D didnt play that bad considering how many weapons they have. If u cant make them one dimensional, that is a lot to defend. We have no speed at linebacker right now and hightower was jogging out way too many plays for my liking, like what is this a walkthrough?! If he is hurt, he needs to sit or give maximun effort on the field. Also slightly concerning is C.J's lack of ability to get consistent pressure. CJ is still a promising player but Hightower is looking like another 2 down backer and spikes may have to get paid cuz he is better imo.
We did find out that Harmon can cover tight ends down the field which is an asset but mccourty didnt fair that well when put in the same spot. I know he hasnt covered one on one that much this year but he cant get beat like that. I figured Olsen would beat us but it would be a backer. Ebner did a good job covering when he was out which was nice and maybe he sees more time but with neither mccourty or gregory able to fend off tight ends due to being small that would be exposed more. Other than Hightower and McCourty struggling I thought they played ok and good enough to win but obviously the last drive hurt but arrington giving up the score was the best thing after he caught it to give our O a chance.
and it is mind boggling Belichick still hasn't been able to find a good cornerback in the draft. I think it's been 9 years since Pats drafted Asante Samuel. That was the last one. Unbelievable.
I bet we have drafted at least a dozen and brought in even more as free agents. None have really worked out, other than Talib. That guy is always hurt.
Sometimes I think it's some kind of gods conspiracy to prevent Brady from winning his 4th sb. Tyree catch, maningham catch, get decimated by injuries year after year.

Wonderful florist – Great florist. I have used them for my wedding, Valentine's day and every year to place flowers on my mother's grave. They always have what I am looking for in a great arrangement. They also provide service with a smile!!! Thank you.
New Ownership – I've been a loyal customer of Payne & Morrison for years and years. Mr. Payne recently sold the business and it's just not the same. The new owner is learning, and I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. But in the meantime I'm going to find another local florist (there are 3 or 4 in my neighborhood). I wish her good luck.
Quality Florist – We purchased my son's and his girlfriend's flowers for prom here after visiting several other florists in the area. They had the best selection and quality preparation and flowers for a reasonable price. They aren't the cheapest, but I believe they are the best for the money.

February 17, 2000
The Trio Parnassus, with guest Jon Manasse, clarinet, will perform Messiaen's "Quartet for the End of Time" on Sunday, March 5, at 3:00 p.m., at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute.

In a review of their recording of the complete trios of Joseph Rheinberger, American Record Guide said "there is no question that this is a world-class Trio. They play with superb unanimity of ensemble and consummate polish. This is a major release in the field of chamber music."

Spike Likes Fridays, Vol 40
Spikesters had a great week this week with the discovery of musical posters, printable baby animal portraits and a look into the past of book publishing.
Patty: It's kind of interesting to see the new focus on digital marketing. It would be more interesting to see how the numbers hold up in 2012.
Christian: A very cool vignette of a book being created using traditional printing methods.
Kristen: While searching for some nursery design inspiration, I came across these adorable baby animal photos by Sharon Montrose. I'll definitely be getting a few!
Chris: Environmental design is all the rage these days. And now a Liverpool-based company is taking that to a new level with paper posters that play music via printed circuits made with conductive ink. But whether it's on a screen or in a subway, it's still all about creating a unique user-centric experience.
Gary: Spike likes, no, make that loves, the fact that the 2012 baseball season in underway!
Rachel: I have a competitive spirit, so the best way that I can motivate myself to get in shape for summer is a little friendly competition. A new iPhone app called Fitocracy will help me do just that- competing against other Fitocracy members in the name of fitness!!

Living Without Stress or Fear with Thich Nhat Hanh
The Mindful Path to Freedom from the Emotions That Cause Suffering
A life without stress or fear may seem like an impossible dream—yet Thich Nhat Hanh has spent a lifetime proving that it is not only possible, it is also within our grasp. On Living Without Stress or Fear, this treasured Zen master shares a message of hope: that we can, through the practice of mindfulness, find freedom from the grip of emotions like anxiety, anger, and despair. "Suffering persists because we nourish the feelings that cause it," reveals Thich Nhat Hanh. "Through mindful living, we learn to nourish our compassionate nature instead." Learn More$69.95
The Present Moment with Thich Nhat HanhBuddhism teaches that the present moment contains the seeds of all things, including liberation from samsara (the world of suffering).

True Happiness: Cultivating a Life of Unconditional Joy and the Power to Benefit Others with Pema ChodronHappiness is your birthright and it is readily available at any given moment, teaches Pema Chödrön. So, why do we live in such suffering? The potential for happiness is not based on outer things; they come and go, causing us misery, she begins. We're always chasing after something, trying to avoid the difficult places. But there are a lot of small sweetnesses that we ignore because they're so fleeting. On True Happiness, Pema Chödrön guides you through simple-yet-effective practices that show you how to recognize and nurture these moments of delight, cultivating them until they become more and more frequent, accessible, and real as a constant influence in our lives.

1Three fragments of the virus genome were amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction to allow generation of nucleotide (nt) sequences 393 nt in length for an S segment region encoding the N protein, 259 nt in length for an M segment region (M-G1) encoding the G1 protein, and 205 nt in length for an M segment region (M-G2) encoding the G2 protein (12). Sequence data were analyzed by using the Wisconsin GCG Package (version 9.1) software. Initial multiple sequence alignment was done with the GCG Pileup program, and phylogenetic analysis was performed by using the Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony (and other methods) program (version 4.0) (20).

Alma is a software workshop for modeling and analyzing. It reads several sources (languages, models, etc.), helps you design for object-oriented modeling (definition of classes, relations, patterns, etc.), modifies the structure and the code, and outputs new sources, documentation, diagrams, etc. It is designed for object-oriented modeling (definition of classes and relations) and for migrating code in older languages. It meets two needs, offering a simplified software modeling workshop for small projects and making it easier to do rewrites, ports, and encapsulation of non-OO code.

XPTest for Together provides two patterns and a module to allow the fast development of test cases. The TestCase pattern creates a class which has to be customized to contain test methods for a given class containing business methods. Using the TestPackage pattern, a class collecting all TestCases recursively can be created. The execution module allows one to start a Swing or AWT GUI to test single classes or packages in any granularity. It depends on JUnit by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma, and is designed to significantly speed up the development of Extreme Programming-inspired tests within the Together UML modeling tool and wanna-be-IDE.

When it comes to relatives we've never met or created memories with, it's easy for them to feel like flat, lifeless names atop the page. When ancestors are flat, they're boring. They're not always easy to research. We forget the very few facts that we know about them because we're disconnected.
How quickly one artifact can change things!
Edwin Cantello Bagnall is my great, great uncle (the brother of my great-grandmother). To date, I've never found a single early family photo of him (the one close-up photo I've seen is of him as a senior). He was a farmer who never married, never had children, and who didn't seem to leave much trace of himself. My grandma talked about him to me when I was growing up (he was her uncle), and the only thing I could remember about him was his funny name (he went by his middle name as most of the Bagnall siblings did)–Cantello.
"Cantelope?!" I remember asking her on a regular basis. "Who names their kid Cantelope?!" And my kid sister and I would laugh ourselves silly.
Sadly, when I began digging around for preliminary info on dear Cantello, other than his interesting name, this fellow was pretty dull from a genealogy standpoint. I found it hard to connect with his story, although I knew it was an interesting one. After all, he was one of two brothers who led our entire family out west to Alberta from Prince Edward Island; he and his brother, Louis, came out ahead of the family to stake a claim on homestead lands. As a result, they wrote letters back home to their parents and ten remaining siblings, urging a move west. Soon after, the family obliged and came to settle in Edmonton. So, he was important in the Bagnall family. He was beloved, too, to be a bachelor uncle that was included around my great grandma's dinner table often enough for my grandma to remember.
Too bad on paper he was so dull I could scarcely remember even the approximate date range that he lived within (you see, he's not to be confused with a different Edwin Cantelo Bagnall in my family tree! ;)
And then I found a good database to search at Peel's Prairie Provinces through the University of Alberta. I plunked the names Bagnall and Bagnell into their old newspaper directory, just to see what would turn up. I had my fingers crossed that with 14 Bagnalls having moved out to Edmonton in the early part of the twentieth century, perhaps I would get lucky and score one small article or announcement. So, imagine my delighted surprise when I instead turned up PAGES of results for the Bagnalls in my family line! And, imagine my shock at seeing that Mr. E.C. Bagnall, formerly totally elusive, now actually seemed to be becoming the star of the show! Now, part of this was because he seemed to have a bit of an affinity for being a bit of a troublemaker in his day (see a full post on that here); nevertheless, I felt like with every article I read, this chap was coming to life before my eyes! And I found he was growing on me; I began to find I was rooting for him a little bit.
I then tried my luck at the old Henderson's Directories on the Peel's Prairie Provinces site. With great luck, I was now able to easily locate good old "E.C. Bagnall" or "C. Bagnall" as he was sometimes called. Through this, I found out that he was the owner and proprietor of the Strathcona ('Scona) Garage, and that before he became a farmer, he repaired cars and lived in the Strathcona Apartments above the Garage (often with a sibling or two!). Again, fact by fact, he was become more of a flesh and blood person to me, and I found myself gravitating more and more towards his enigmatic story when I sat down to do my research.
The real highlight came for me just several days ago, when I stumbled upon an old packet of saved letters in some family files. I believe even my grandma (whom the packet last belonged to) hadn't known they were in there as she says she can never remember seeing or reading a letter from Uncle Cantello in all her life. I told her the details in them and she too found them amusing, fascinating, and moving.
In this letter to his father dated 14 September, 1936, Cantello is obviously living in Northern Alberta (Beaverlodge) at this point, likely with or near his older brother, Louis, living the hard life of a farmer on a homestead thick with scrub brush and hard labour. Add to this the fact that it's the "Dirty Thirties", and with the Depression, most folks found themselves in hard times financially as well. Additionally, Cantello has 9 remaining living siblings (most married and with their own families to care for at this point). He also has two aging parents whom he obviously has some financial ties with. This letter details some technical details of his homesteading as well as the financial woes that he and father, George, are obviously mired down in. Lastly, the language, humour, and financial "strategy" that this letter reveals have made me fully endeared to Cantello all of a sudden. This man that I once felt was a stranger now truly feels like family. He was obviously a hard-working man who cared about his family and was charmingly rough around the edges. To see his character flushed out in his own handwriting in thick pencil strokes, and with his own signature ("As ever, E.C.B.") is a true treasure among treasures.
Cantello, I'm glad I've gotten to know you.
Dear Dad [George William Bagnall]
Wed didn't get quite through cutting have about 20 acres on the Oakford place and that piece of greenfeed home. Could of been done put (but) broke down one of those darn old binders and couldnt get Repairs for a week. However we got a Hell of a snow storm its fine today and the weather looks settled We may get some good weather from now on. The weather was cold windy & squally for a week before it snowed so held Harvest up to some extent. There arent much more than Half the oats in the country cut and the majority of them were still green They are as flat as a pancake now and a lot of them will never be cut this should put the price of oats away up. Barnard Has 150 acres down I don't know if he will ever cut them or not. We will cut ours as soon as the snow goes off
[page 2]
Tom Watt got some threshed His oats were very light I dont think more than 20 or 25 Ill find out some of those days. There was a few outfits started to thresh the day before the storm But didnt get much done. We would of been ready in another day if the weather Held out But However I guess well get some good weather yet. Aberharts new Legislation will make some change in the country give everybody a chance to get them old Bills fixed up without being swamped with Interest. It will make quite a difference with to us with Johnston & the International people. Ill pay Cockshutt and the rest of the Bills we owe. But we wont give them a goddam cent more than we Have to. I saw Mr Swinton he said the office wrote him to cut 500ºº off the Interest I told him I guess they will cut more than that off. I asked him if he read the new act in the paper. However he said we'll just let it go for now
[page 3]
and when we got threshed and ready to do Business we'll settle up O.K. without any trouble. So I geuss they will may be cut all the Intrest so that will just Be 1100ºº principal. With Interest cut off the farm since 1932 will leave us owing Johnston around 6000ºº if he wants to take about 4000ºº we'll settle up with him too otherwise he'll have to take it in yearly instalments and nothing this fall. I wonder How he will like that. After Threshing we will have to arrange to meet Johnston and get this all straightned up so we will know exactly whats, what. Stan Davis went down last friday night for a new truck I told him to call you up Wilbur might come with him also to send up that rifle But I geuss the roads will be absolutely Impassable for another ten days. We had rain and about 8 in of snow. I geuss thats all for now.
As Ever
[page 4]
P.S. Margaret rec your letter and was quite pleased to get it. Arnald Johnston told me them were 5 of the finest Hogs that were shipped from the Peace River country this year 4 selects 1 Bacon.

During his Season 4 stint, Busey was a lightning rod for controversy, sparking one of the show's most epic confrontations. On a recent "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" appearance, Dennis Rodman (another of Donald Trump's all-stars), came out and said what fans of the show have probably been thinking: Busey's nuts!
The actor may be eccentric, but there's cleverness in his apparent madness. Here's a look at the best of Busey.
[Related: 'Celebrity Apprentice': The 11 craziest fights ever]
Just crazy or crazy like a fox?
During his first "Apprentice" season, Busey and his team created a pitch for Omaha Steaks. As project manager, the actor practically has the company executives eating out of his hand with a sentimental tale of love and steak. Unfortunately, Gary's pitch takes flight about halfway into the presentation and never makes it back to Earth.
A master of neuro-linguistic programming or simply suffering from head trauma?In the boardroom, Busey also gets some laughs by saying he's a master of neuro-linguistic programming. This means, in the actor's words, that he can evaluate whether a person is telling the truth or just pretending by assessing his/her body language. Maybe Busey was referring to himself when he said that.
[Related: Meet the all-stars competing this season on 'All-Star Celebrity Apprentice']
In an odd twist, Meat Loaf came to Gary's defense. During an earlier team project, the rocker suffered an epic meltdown that he attributed to Gary's odd behavior. This is one of the rare times that Busey actually looks terrified.
Sitting next to Busey, Meat Loaf hugged his teammate and said the two of them have been good friends since the time Busey did "The Buddy Holly Story." Meat Loaf even shared his own head trauma stories and made reference to Busey's famous 1988 motorcycle crash.
Buseyisms are better than SnigletsIn the 1980s, comedian Rich Hall created a play-on-words game called Sniglets. An appropriate example for "Celebrity Apprentice" would be "execuglide": a term that refers to the act of propelling yourself around the room while seated in a desk chair.
Thanks to the reality show, Busey trumped Rich Hall's invention with Buseyisms. During his first season on the show, the actor stunned Ivanka Trump with his own definitions of "lucky" and "freedom."
More meltdowns, kite flying, and Buseyisms are sure to come on "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice," which airs Sundays at 9 PM on NBC.
